From England-
The Anglican Bishop of Shrewsbury has described the resurrection of Jesus Christ as “the greatest comeback of all time.”
Writing in a pastoral letter for April’s parish magazines throughout the Diocese of Lichfield, the Rt Revd Mark Rylands, looks at a number of sporting comebacks, including England’s test match against Australia in Headingley in 1981; Manchester United’s Champions League final against Bayern Munich in 1999; and Walsall FC’s current run of form which has seen them rise from the foot of the League One table; before asking: “Who made the greatest comeback?”
He says: “Jesus of Nazareth, 33 AD, crucified on the Friday and buried in a tomb; but then seen up and about on Sunday, walking, talking and eating” before asking again: “Which is the greatest comeback?”
He writes: “Actually, it was Roger’s phonecall that reminded me of the miracle of Easter. Six years ago, Roger and I were watching the Champions league Final on TV – Liverpool versus AC Milan. We watched the first half only and saw Liverpool being completely over run by the Italian team. At half time they were 3 – 0 down. Some Liverpool supporters left the ground. It looked like game over, so we switched off and went into the kitchen for supper.
